Endocrine-Disrupting Compounds: An Overview on Their Occurrence in the Aquatic Environment and Human Exposure

Water, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 13(10), P. 1347 - 1347

Published: May 12, 2021

Endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) as emerging contaminants have accumulated in the aquatic environment at concentration levels that been determined to be significant humans and animals. Several belong this family, from natural substances (hormones such estrone, 17-estradiol, estriol) synthetic chemicals, especially pesticides, pharmaceuticals, plastic-derived (phthalates, bisphenol A). In review, we discuss recent works regarding EDC occurrence compartment, strengths limitations of current analytical methods used for their detection, treatment technologies removal water, health issues they can trigger humans. Nowadays, many EDCs identified amounts different water matrices including drinking thus increasing possibility entering food chain. studies correlate human exposure high concentrations with serious effects infertility, thyroid dysfunction, early puberty, endometriosis, diabetes, obesity. Although our intention is not explain all disorders related exposure, review aims guide future research towards a deeper knowledge EDCs’ contamination accumulation highlighting toxicity risks

PFAS: forever chemicals—persistent, bioaccumulative and mobile. Reviewing the status and the need for their phase out and remediation of contaminated sites

Abstract Background Per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) have received increasing scientific political attention in recent years. Several thousand commercially produced compounds are used numerous products technical processes. Due to their extreme persistence the environment, humans all other life forms are, therefore, increasingly exposed these substances. In following review, PFAS will be examined comprehensively. Results The best studied carboxylic sulfonic acids with chain lengths of C4 C14, particularly perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) perfluorooctane (PFOS). These harmful aquatic fauna, insects, amphibians at concentrations a few µg/L or less, accumulate organisms, biomagnify food webs. Humans, as final link chains, subjected uptake primarily through drinking water. multiple toxic effects, affecting liver, kidney, thyroid, immune system. latter effect is basis for establishment tolerable weekly dose only 4.4 ng/kg body weight sum four representatives PFOA, PFOS, perfluorononanoic (PFNA) perfluorohexane (PFHxS) by European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) 2020. Exposure estimates human biomonitoring show that this value frequently reached, many cases exceeded. major challenge analysis, especially waste: single-substance analyses capture fragment large, diverse family PFAS. As consequence, parameters gained importance. high mobility per makes soil groundwater pollution contaminated sites problem. general, short-chain more mobile than long-chain ones.

Endocrine Disruptors Acting on Estrogen and Androgen Pathways Cause Reproductive Disorders through Multiple Mechanisms: A Review

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 18(4), P. 1464 - 1464

Published: Feb. 4, 2021

Increasing contamination of the environment by toxic compounds such as endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) is one major causes reproductive defects in both sexes. Estrogen/androgen pathways are utmost importance gonadal development, determination secondary sex characteristics and gametogenesis. Most EDCs mediate their action through respective receptors and/or downstream signaling. The purpose this review to highlight mechanism which can trigger antagonistic or agonistic response, acting estrogen/androgen causing that lead infertility. In vitro, vivo silico studies focusing on impact related proteins published last decade were considered for review. PUBMED PUBCHEM used literature search. bind estrogen (ERα ERβ) androgen activate alternative G protein-coupled (GPCR), GPR30, estrogen-related receptor (ERRγ) signaling via kinases. Bisphenol A, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene, polychlorinated biphenyls phthalates toxicants interfere with normal leading infertility sexes many ways, including DNA damage spermatozoids, altered methylation pattern, histone modifications miRNA expression.
